Tolisons from Farsund

[?][?]I am looking for any information about Tolisons from Farsund, Norway[?]. My grandmother came to the US from there. She was Thora Tolison married to Peter Pedersen. (There or here?) Only other clue I have is a beautiful old moneybox I believe might be from some relation to her that she brought with her, and treasured. It is inscribed with what looks like Torlach Ols, Sen Firoden 1831. I would be happy to send pictures of it if anyone might be able to tell anything by the designs on it. I believe some of the Tolisons that may have come with her, settled in Bennington Vermont (?). Thank you!
